The sweeteners used in our Fit Sweet ice cream mix were selected based on the most up to date and vetted studies, FDA guidance and safety consensus supported by the preponderance of current scientific data5,6. The combination of erythritol, allulose and stevia leaf extract has consistently been shown to be by far the least impactful, safest and most well-tolerated sugar-free and low-carb sweetener blend available today1,2. They are excreted unmetabolized and unchanged even at high doses after consumption—demonstrating their non-impact on our bodies3. These sweeteners are derived naturally and can be found in everyday foods like melons, pears, grapes, figs, maple syrup, soy sauce, miso and wine1,2,4.
